A three-step protocol toward phenanthrofurans 1 starting with deoxybenzoins 3 is developed with moderate to good yield. A facile process is carried out for the (1) α-propargylation of 3 with NaH and propargyl bromide 2 in refluxing THF, (2) Bi(OTf)3-mediated cycloisomerization of γ-ynones 4 with 4 ? molecular sieves in MeNO2 at rt, and (3) photolytic Scholl annulation of 2,3-diarylfurans 5 with I2 in EtOAc at rt. The key structures of 1 are confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis.
The ketene-surrogate coupling: Catalytic conversion of aryl iodides into aryl ketenes through ynol ethers

tert-Butoxyacetylene is shown to undergo Sonogashira coupling with aryl iodides to yield aryl-substituted tert-butyl ynol ethers. These intermediates participate in a [1,5]-hydride shift, which results in the extrusion of isobutylene and the generation of aryl ketenes. The ketenes are trapped in situ with multiple nucleophiles or undergo electrocyclic ring closure to yield hydroxynaphthalenes and quinolines.
